2 02 03 See more of our Special Purpose Systems Online Successful Automation Begins With Innovative Design Concepts For any special purpose automation system to operate reliably, maintain anticipated production rates and produce quality components, the concept and design must be robust. Altec takes great pride in our ability to develop automation concepts and solutions which not only meet our customers current requirements, but which offer the highest levels of flexibility where ever possible to cater for next generation product variants. By designing our systems in this way we are able to offer the highest levels of futureproofing for our customers investment. SYSTEM INTEGRATION SPECIALISTS Systems designed and built by Altec incorporate a diverse selection of processes and technologies such as Robots, Machine Vision, Ultrasonic Welding, M.I.G Welding, Infra-Red Welding, Laser Welding, Laser Etching, Leak Testing, Adhesive Dispensing, Riveting, Screw Driving and Press Systems. Altec designs and builds Electrical Control Systems and bespoke Functional Test systems in-house, and is also able to offer a Build to Print facility. ALTEC ENGINEERING Altec Engineering provides a comprehensive range of services including the design and manufacture of special purpose equipment, toolmaking, electrical & mechanical design, panel building and wiring. Altec Engineering, along with Altec CNC is a trading division of Altec Engineering Ltd. Based in Bowburn, Durham, we have developed working partnerships with customers in a wide range of sectors including: Automotive, Aerospace & Space Science, Medical, Defence, Oil & Gas, Mining, Construction Machinery and Nuclear & Renewables. We have established a reputation for excellence in engineering and our ongoing investment in our facilities, technologies for design and manufacture, together with the value which we place on employee training and development, will ensure that we maintain our position as a trusted supplier and partner. Lasers Altec has experience in the integration and application of laser systems for both welding and marking applications. We have close working relationships with some of the industry s leading manufacturers of laser sources and we can offer advice on the most appropriate type of laser - CO 2, YAG, Diode etc. for any specific application. We also have a detailed understanding of the safety requirements in relation to laser system installations.

3 04 05 Many of the special purpose systems designed and built by Altec Product validation, inspection and testing is a fundamental requirement incorporate technologies for joining individual components or sub in todays modern manufacturing environment. Many applications assemblies. We have experience in the involve safety critical items where full traceability during manufacture is integration of a diverse range of systems a requirement, and Altec excels in this area. including: Joining Laser Welding Infra-Red Welding M.I.G & Spot Welding Ultrasonic Welding Swaging Screw Driving Servo Presses Adhesive Dispensing Soldering Compliant Pin Technology Testing Altec s expertise in test and inspection applications encompasses technologies such as servo-positioning systems, leak testing, electrical testing, load cells, LDVT s, lasers and vision as a means of acquiring data which may in turn be transferred to systems such as RFID, bar code and 2D/3D datamatrix codes. Data packages gathered during test and inspection processes can then be stored or uploaded to customer mainframe systems for future traceability requirements. Altec Special Purpose Production Systems Integrating Technology & Innovation Quality inspection and verification is an essential element in todays The flexibility, reliability and ever increasing performance of Robots automated manufacturing systems. Machine vision systems now means that they are finding their way into many different application offer a highly reliable and cost effective method of checking parts areas. Altec integrates a comprehensive range of robot types from for presence, verifying correct part type, position and orientation SCARA systems to 6 Axis types from suppliers such as KUKA, FANUC, and also generating offset data to allow dynamic placement of parts ABB, YASKAWA and DENSO. Our engineers have experience of by a robot. Altec has experience in the integration of a number installing and programming robots for applications such as Adhesive of different machine vision systems from the industry s leading Dispensing, Part Handling, Assembly plus M.I.G and Spot Welding. suppliers.
